HB 5055 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING VACCINES FOR ANIMALS.

HB 5055 allows veterinarians to adjust vaccine dosages based on an individual animal's health needs and to use rabies antibody tests to determine if a rabies booster is necessary, rather than following fixed schedules. This directly affects veterinarians and pet owners by giving vets flexibility to prevent unnecessary vaccinations. The bill aims to reduce overvaccination by basing decisions on an animal's specific health status, not rigid protocols. (Bill: HB 5055, Introduced by Rep. Klarides-Ditria)
